I'm very passionate about art and my favourite subject to draw is animals, though I also paint the occasional landscape. Penguins are often a main feature of my work, as not only are they especially cute, but to me they also symbolise a lot of other things. My style of artwork is very traditional and realistic, and I like to work mainly in coloured pencils and graphite pencils, as well as experimenting with pastels and acrylic paints. I'm quite obsessive over detail, and I think that comes across in my work.

I started taking commissions for pet portraits in late 2008, and prices start from as little as £40. I am also writing and illustrating a series of children's books using my penguins, so look out!
